What Should I do?
Well i just brought 1989 Rx7 (NA) for 800 dollars it runs pretty good. Heavy smoke for the first 2 mins kinda light blue but i think i know thats the problem. Well it could be alot of things. Well anyways its going to be my next project car. Im going to invest quite a sum of money about 9-15 grand over a 1 year span. The motor was rebuild last year and clutch replace last year too. I brought the car from a old retired army guy. I myself is also in the US Army. Im thinking about doing a motor swap 13B TT or the comos 20B TT. The price i came with the 2 rotor engines are 1200 +shipping for the 13B TT and 3200-4600+ shipping for the 20B TT. Not sure if it includes everything like ecu, tranny, wire harness and etc but im sure it does. I heard the 13B TT fits in good but im not sure about the 20B TT. I heard the 1989 NA motor has a good compression ratio 9.7:1 to turbo with good respond. So i have no idea right now what to do. Should i get a motor swap or upgrade my stock engine its has around 160k miles on it... For Body Exterior I may get the RE-Amemiya Pro 2000 front and erebuni side skirt and Mariah wide body fenders and maybe RE-Amemiya diffuser. Since it maybe be wide body i also need wider size wheels...so im not sure about wide body the cost is pretty high. So it would be a decent ride by the end of Aug of 2004. I done quite a few projects before but it took less time but since im in the army its going to take quite a while. Also cost more.
About the engine its just going to be a swap(if i do the swap) maybe upgrades on the tranny thats all. Since i have to balance the car out with looks and speed and good supension with the budget i plan to use. Or if i chose too I may make it a sleeper all motor work by the end of aug. But it all depends...So let me heard about ur idea it would really help me since im kinda still planning out the project im solo doing this too hahah no team like i use to have. Sorry if i say anything that doesnt seem right because i dont know much about the RX7 im new to it so i wrote most of it done to the best of my knowledge. Hell i didnt know it idle at 3000 RPM! LOL i was scare like f*ck.

For engine questions, please search and use the FAQ at the top of the FC section.
You must have more money than you know what to do with, to do those sorts of mods on that car.
